An interdisciplinary team has proposed a public health approach to violence prevention in the community. This approach to violence is premised on the fact that:
A) Violence is best seen as a health issue and not a criminal problem.
B) Violence and health are mutually dependent.
C) The best people to hold citizens accountable are their own neighbors.
D) Violence is the outcome of interaction between multiple different causes.
Ans: D
Feedback:
A public health approach to violence holds that the multiple causes of violence require multiple solutions addressing each level of the problem. This does not mean violence is not a criminal matter, however, or that neighbors can necessarily hold one another accountable. Violence and health are largely mutually exclusive, not mutually dependent.
